A Correct answer

Hemodialysis is a medical procedure used to filter waste products and excess water from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to perform these functions. It essentially serves as an external, mechanical replacement for kidney function. This process helps maintain the body's chemical balance and blood pressure.
